Understanding Your Neurological Health: DST Gene Neuropathy Testing
Living with unexplained numbness, tingling sensations, or balance difficulties can be frightening and isolating. When these symptoms run in your family, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our DST Gene Neuropathy test provides the clarity you need to understand your genetic risk for hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6, giving you the power to take control of your neurological health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The DST Gene Neuropathy test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to analyse your DNA for mutations in the DST gene. This comprehensive genetic analysis helps identify your risk for developing hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6 – a condition that affects your ability to feel sensations and maintain proper autonomic functions. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can work with healthcare providers to develop proactive management strategies.
Is This Test Right For You?
Consider this test if you experience:
- Unexplained numbness or tingling in hands and feet
- Balance difficulties or frequent stumbling
- Reduced sensitivity to pain or temperature changes
- Family history of similar neurological symptoms
- Autonomic nervous system issues like blood pressure fluctuations
- Progressive sensory loss that began in childhood or early adulthood
Many South Africans with these symptoms find relief in knowing whether their condition has a genetic basis, allowing for targeted treatment approaches.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Neurological Health
Getting tested provides multiple life-changing benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your genetic risk
- Proactive Management: Develop personalised health strategies with your neurologist
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Early Intervention: Implement preventive measures before symptoms progress
- Accurate Diagnosis: Avoid misdiagnosis and receive appropriate care
Understanding Your Test Results
Our comprehensive results package includes:
- Clear explanation of your DST gene status
- Personalised risk assessment for hereditary sensory neuropathy
- Recommendations for ongoing neurological care
- Guidance for family members who may be at risk

Remember: A positive result doesn’t mean you’ll definitely develop symptoms, but it empowers you with knowledge for proactive health management.
